[edit] Roger Ebert cite removed

“

The movie disintegrates into a series of self-contained set pieces, none of them quite satisfying. The scene in the press room, for example, with the lecture on propaganda, seems to reflect some of the same spirit as Dr. Strangelove. But, how does it connect with the curious scene of the Vietnamese prostitute — a scene with a riveting beginning, but no middle or end? And, how do either lead to the final shoot-out with a sniper?

Roger Ebert cite removed because :

• Their comments is far to be near to a average consensus about this movie (clearly biased), is more a personal viewpoint hence not allowed in WP.
• He is not part of the pre or post production of the movie, neither a producer, so their opinion share a limited value,in specific, limited only for the reader of SunTimes newspaper.
• Don't add any value for this wiki (about this specific quote).
• If was allowed then we will allowed to put more critics (good and bad ones).

[edit] R. Lee Ermey's occupation

the article states that Ermey was a Drill Instructor in real life, infact he was an aircraft mechanic at Da Nang, according to his bio on Historychannel.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.169.43 (talk) 08:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Psychopathic" Private Pyle

There's a box that describes him as such - this is inaccurate, a psychopath is usually defined as highly intelligent - i think psychotic is more appropriate, but then i'd DO MY RESEARCH BEFORE CHANGING IT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.188.50.225 (talk) 03:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] rafter man?

vandalism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.68.180.122 (talk) 08:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
